A propos du programme :
Avec les bourses CCP, le programme CrossCulture (CCP) finance chaque année une centaine de professionnels et de bénévoles engagés de plus de 40 pays. Pendant deux à trois mois de formation pratique dans des organisations d'accueil en Allemagne ou dans les pays partenaires du PCC, les participants approfondissent leur expertise et acquièrent des compétences interculturelles. En retour, les organisations d'accueil bénéficient de l'expertise, des connaissances régionales et des réseaux des boursiers du PCC. Les participants apportent ensuite leurs expériences acquises à l'étranger dans leur vie professionnelle quotidienne lorsqu'ils retournent dans leur organisation d'origine.
Avec son programme CrossCulture (CCP), l'ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen) travaille en partenariat avec le ministère fédéral des affaires étrangères pour mettre en place de solides réseaux de la société civile entre l'Allemagne et le reste du monde. Le programme CrossCulture est financé par le ministère fédéral allemand des affaires étrangères et mis en œuvre par l'ifa.
Les bourses professionnelles sont accordées pour une période de huit à douze semaines, normalement selon les modalités suivantes
Trimestre d'été : Juin à août 2021
Le trimestre d'automne : De septembre à novembre 2021
Whom is the programme designed for?

sustainable development
In addition, from 2019 to 2023 the following key issues will be the focus for those interested in applying for compatible host organisations:
civic & citizenship education
digital civil society
Civic & citizenship education provides both young people and adults with the knowledge and skills that enable them to shape society. Against the background of current challenges such as populism, fake news and hate speech, civic citizenship education, especially in connection with digital media, is gaining in importance for an active and democratically organised civil society. People working in civic & citizenship education and pursuing goals in the fields of work listed above will be supported with these key issues.
